摘要

文章以墨西哥玛雅海岸为重点,探讨了人类世中出现的海岸伦理。为应对海岸退化和马尾藻影响等不断升级的挑战,该研究将重点从指责转移到海洋生物学家参与修复生态系统(尤其是海草)的实践上。研究引入了 "工作海草 "的概念,强调人类与海草互动的功能性、表演性和操纵性。通过人种学实地考察,作者观察到海洋生物学家的工作方式与该领域流行的指责方式有所不同,他们积极致力于修复海草床。三个经验性实例说明了海草工作的不同层面,揭示了科学家策划的互动、生态修复实践以及物种识别在沿海伦理中的作用。该研究探讨了墨西哥沿海的多物种纠缠问题,强调了人类和非人类之间的合作努力。通过探讨海洋生物学家如何应对海岸退化以及非人类参与者的参与,该研究有助于理解人类世不断演变的海岸伦理。

Working seagrasses: emerging coastal ethics in the Mexican Caribbean

Working seagrasses: emerging coastal ethics in the Mexican Caribbean

The article explores the emergence of coastal ethics in the Anthropocene, focusing on the Riviera Maya in Mexico. In response to escalating challenges such as coastal degradation and Sargassum impact, the study shifts the focus from blame to the practices of marine biologists engaged in repairing ecosystems, particularly seagrasses. The concept of “working seagrasses” is introduced, emphasizing the functional, performative, and manipulative aspects of human-seagrass interactions. Through ethnographic fieldwork, the author observes a departure from blame-based approaches prevalent in the field towards marine biologists, who actively work to repair seagrass beds. Three empirical examples illustrate different dimensions of working seagrasses, shedding light on scientists’ curated interactions, ecological restoration practices, and the role of species recognition in coastal ethics. The study explores multi-species entanglements along Mexican coasts, emphasizing collaborative efforts between humans and non-humans. By addressing how marine biologists respond to coastal degradation and involving non-human actors, the study contributes to understanding evolving coastal ethics in the Anthropocene.

期刊介绍: Maritime Studies is an international peer-reviewed journal on the social dimensions of coastal and marine issues throughout the world. The journal is a venue for theoretical and empirical research relevant to a wide range of academic social science disciplines, including anthropology, sociology, geography, history and political science. Space is especially given to develop academic concepts and debate. We invite original research papers, reviews and viewpoints and welcome proposals for special issues that make a distinctive contribution to contemporary discussion around maritime and coastal use, development and governance. The journal provides a rigorous but constructive review process and rapid publication, and is accessible to new researchers, including postgraduate students and early career academics.
